Public Corruption in Chester County, PA

I believe an unlikely mix of alleged drug trafficking related politicos and alleged white nationalist related politicos united to elect the infamous “Bloc of Four” in the abysmal voter turnout election of 2005. During their four year term the drug business was good again and white nationalists used Coatesville as an example on white supremacist websites like “Stormfront”. Strong community organization and support from law enforcement, in particular Chester County District Attorney Joseph W. Carroll has begun to turn our community around. The Chester County drug trafficking that I believe centers on Coatesville continues and I believe we still have public officials in place that profit from the drug sales. But the people here are amazing and continue to work against the odds to make Coatesville a good place to live.

The fortune of war is changing. This time the U.S.A. forces in and near Bastogne have been encircled by strong German armored units. More German armored units have crossed the river Our near Ortheuville, have taken Marche and reached St. Hubert by passing through Hompre-Sibret-Tillet. Libramont is in German hands.

There is only one possibility to save the encircled U.S.A. troops from total annihilation: that is the honorable surrender of the encircled town. In order to think it over a term of two hours will be granted beginning with the presentation of this note.

If this proposal should be rejected one German Artillery Corps and six heavy A. A. Battalions are ready to annihilate the U.S.A. troops in and near Bastogne. The order for firing will be given immediately after this two hours term.

All the serious civilian losses caused by this artillery fire would not correspond with the well-known American humanity.

Back home pro-Nazi Republicans wanted President Roosevelt and the U.S. Army to surrender.

Sorry Republicans, but your political party has a long time sordid history of affiliations with Nazis and Nazi Germany. Maybe Trump is the first
American President to have an openly Nazi ‘Senior Advisor”, Steve Bannon. But he’s
certainly not the first Nazi leaning American President. Nazis and Republicans have intertwined since the beginnings of the Nazi Party, before Hitler became Germany's leader.

“This
site is dedicated to those fallen heroes, who arouse from among their
countrymen to battle right wing tyranny and its triad of support hate, racism
and poverty. They came from all walks of life: farmers, labors, ministers and
students, all had so much to give, all were idealists, and all were killed for
menacing the tyrants grasp on power. For this society will be forever indebted
and grateful to them. The very freedoms that we enjoy today, only came about
through their efforts.

Today as
a nation we face the greatest threats to democracy and freedom than at anytime
in the past, the enemy is not from abroad but the enemy is from within. They
are the extremist and odious members of what passes for conservatives in
today's politics. They have attacked the very foundations of our government and
the institutions that have made it great. We have yielded far too much ground
in the 1980's our future freedoms depend upon stopping them now, we must fight
now.

I wrote
those first two paragraphs when the White Rose first appeared on the internet
over seven years ago. Today our cherished freedoms have been severely
restricted and curtailed by the illegitimate regime of George Bush. As a nation
we now stand on the brink of full-blown fascism. The Fourth Reich is rising
like a giant Phoenix from the ashes of 9-11. Reports of terrible atrocities and
war crimes committed by our armies in Afghanistan and Iraq have already
surfaced. Who will survive to bare witness if the Bush regime is not removed by
the upcoming election?”

The White Rose (German: die Weiße Rose)
was a non-violent,
intellectualresistance group in Nazi Germany led by a
group of students and a professor at the University of
Munich. The group conducted an anonymous leaflet and graffiti
campaign which called for active opposition against the Nazi regime. Their
activities started in Munich
in June 1942, and ended with the arrest of the core group by the Gestapo in February 1943.
They, as well as other members and supporters of the group who carried on
distributing the pamphlets, faced unjust trials by the Nazi People's Court
(Volksgerichtshof), and many were sentenced to death or imprisonment.

With its pro-business agenda,
and the fascist views of the leaders of corporate America, the Republican Party
soon became laden with fascists.

Even before Hitler and the
Nazis seized power in Germany, the Nazis were already actively involved in
American politics and elections. Shockingly, the Nazis did not have to
infiltrate the party; many were already employed at high levels in the national
or state Republican Party organizations.

In October 1928, Edmond
Furholzer, a pro-Nazi publisher from Germantown, NY presented the New York
State Republican Committee with an offer that for twenty thousand dollars he
would deliver the German vote to Hoover. With Hoover's chances looking good,
and it being late in the campaign, Furholzer's offer was turned down.

Furholzer was hardly an
obscure Nazi, and was a leading figure in the hard right of Yorkville, a
heavily German neighborhood of Manhattan. The Republican State Committee
adopted many of Furholzer's proposals in 1928, and four years later, when
Hoover's chances were dismal; Furholzer's help was gladly accepted. In fact,
during the 1932 campaign, Furholzer worked endlessly for the Republican
National Committee, campaigning tirelessly for Hoover in New York State. He
smeared Roosevelt as the new Wilson, the man that had destroyed Germany.92
In 1933, Furholzer returned to Germany.

By 1934, the Nazis had only
been in power for less than a year, but already were active in placing their
agents or pro-Nazis into positions of power. On February 22, 1934, the
Republican Party merged their Senatorial and Congressional Campaign Committees
into a single organization independent of the Republican National Committee.

Senator Daniel Hastings of
Delaware and Representative Chester Bolton announced the merger. Just before
the merger, the two campaign committees hired Sidney Brooks, the long-time head
of research at International Telephone and Telegraph (ITT). ITT was one of many
American corporations that went to extraordinary means to continue trading with
the Nazis after war broke out.

Shortly after Brooks took
charge, he made a frantic visit to New York. On March 4, 1934, he went to Room
830 of the Hotel Edison, a room rented to a Mr. William Goodales of Los Angles.
Goodales was in fact William Dudley Pelly. The meeting concluded with an
agreement to merge the Order of 76 with the Silver Shirts. Later Brooks would
stop at 17 Battery Place, the address of the German Consulate General.

Brooks was a member of the
Order of 76, a pro-fascist group. The Order of 76 application required the
fingerprints of the proposed member, and certain details of their life. Brooks'
application revealed that he was the son of Nazi agent Colonel Edwin Emerson
and that he chose to use his mother's maiden name to conceal his father's
identity.80 Emerson was a major financial backer of Furholzer and
his paper.

Thus, as early as 1934, the
Republican Party was collaborating with Nazis and pro-fascist groups at a high
level. This would not be the last example of collaboration between high level
Republicans and Nazis, as the following headlines make clear.

On October 22, 1936, the New
York Post broke the following story.

Nazi
Publicist On G.O.P. Payroll

To
win votes for Landon and Bleakley, the Republican State Committee is employing
on its payroll a staff of propagandists identified with local Nazi
organizations, the Post learned today.78

On October 30, 1936, the New
York World-Telegram revealed additional details.

U.S. Nazi Attack on Jews
Is Laid to Republicans

Anti-Semitic Radio
Speeches by Griebl, Others sponsored by G.O.P

Fritz Kuhn Among Speakers
in Regular Broadcasts over WWRL

The
Republican Party had been sponsoring radio broadcasts by American Nazis to win
German votes, it was disclosed today. One of the recent speakers was Dr. Ignatz
T. Griebl a national Nazi leader and pronounced anti-Semitic…79

Perhaps the best summary of
this plot is a quote from a report to the German Foreign Ministry by the German
Ambassador Thomsen.

"Roosevelt's
prospects of being elected a third time have declined…3. The election campaign
maneuvers of John L. Lewis, chief of the CIO, and Senator Wheeler… Regarding 3.
At this juncture John L. Lewis enters the arena with approximately 8 to 10
million votes controlled by him. He is determined to make ruthless use of his
influence, and will do so in favor of strict isolationism. Lewis is pursuing
that policy not indeed because of any pro-German sentiments, but because he
fears that America's involvement in a war would mean the establishment of an
American dictatorship and the placing of his organization under emergency laws.
He is negotiating with Republicans at present and will support them in the
campaign if Willkie publicly declares himself for keeping America out of all
European conflicts. Lewis can throw his strength at will to Republicans or the
Democrats, but this much is certain that he surely will not use it for
Roosevelt. He may even, as he has already threaten to do, organize a third
party of disgruntled Democrats, the Peace party, and in the person of closely
allied Senator Wheeler put up a suitable candidate."99

While $5 million dollars
seems a trivial amount today in a presidential campaign, in 1940 the amount was
significant as the total expenditures by the Republican Party was slightly less
than $15 million.

Regardless of whether the
Nazis spent only $2 million or the full $5 million dollars, they were a major
source of campaign funds for the Republicans in 1940. While the total amount of
Nazis funds spent on the Republican 1940 campaign may never be known with any
certainty, from the funds recovered in the embassy raid it is clear that at
least $2 million was spent from the slush fund alone. Therefore the lower limit
is at least $2 million. In short, a major proportion ranging from 15% to over
33% of the Republican campaign funds in 1940 came directly from the Nazis.
Considering the fact the major industrialists were active supporters of the
Nazis and large donors to the Republican Party, well over 50% of the Republican
campaign funding in 1940 came either directly from Nazis in Berlin or those
within the United States.

Following the Nazis, Davis
likewise donated at least $48,000 to Willkie, bypassing the $5,000 federal
limit with several methods such as donating to individual state parties. Davis
also bankrolled the radio address of Lewis on October 21 in which Lewis
announced his support for Willkie. In late October, Davis forwarded copies of
his documents pertaining to his proposed peace plan to leaders of the
Republican Party including Willkie, former President Hoover, Sam Pryor and
Verne Marshall. Willkie decided not to use the material, fearing it might
backfire. In the end, labor chose to remain loyal to FDR and Roosevelt won the
election with 27 million votes to Willkie's 22 million.95

Moreover, the involvement of
the Nazis in the 1940 election extended beyond the monetary donations and the
bizarre plot of Davis. Top Republican leaders, including former President
Herbert Hoover closely collaborated with high-level Nazi officials in Berlin to
bring about the defeat of Roosevelt. Hoover's conniving with the Nazis in the
1940 election was confirmed in post-war interviews of Goering and Rubbentrop. Furthermore,
Hoover was a secret member of the fascist American First group, which was
dedicated to bring about Roosevelt's defeat.

The close association of the
Republican Party with the Nazis was confirmed in captured documents. In one
captured document written in anticipation of defeat the Nazis expressed hope
for a Republican victory so that they might achieve an "easy peace."
A small excerpt from the document in the appendix follows:

Right
now, the chances for a separate peace with the West are a little better,
especially if we succeed, through our propaganda campaign and our
confidential" channels, to convince the enemy that Roosevelt's policy of
"unconditional surrender" drives the German people towards Communism.

There
is great fear in the U.S.A. of Bolshevism. The opposition against Roosevelt's
alliance with Stalin grows constantly. Our chances for success are good, if we
succeed to stir up influential circles against Roosevelt's policy. This can be
done through clever pieces of information, or by references to unsuspicious
neutral ecclesiastical contact men.

We
have at our command in the United States efficient contacts which have been
carefully kept up even during the war. The campaign of hatred stirred up by
Roosevelt and the Jews against everything German has temporarily silenced the
pro-German bloc in the U.S.A. However, there is every hope that this situation
will be completely changed within a few months. If the Republicans succeed in
defeating Roosevelt in the coming presidential election, it would greatly
influence the American conduct of war towards us.

With the Battle of the Bulge
raging in Europe the Republican candidate, Dewey lashed out against Roosevelt,
that his call for unconditional surrender was prolonging the war and costing
American lives.

The Nazi involvement in the
1940 election was extensive and extended to congressional races. Evidence
gathered by Roosevelt's scheme to have British intelligence spy on Americans
also netted information about Roosevelt's political enemies. The evidence
confirms that seven U.S. senators and thirteen represenatives recieved campaign
contributions from the Nazis. Much of the isolation wing of congress was
directly finanaced by Berlin.119

From the evidence above the
Nazis were deeply involved in the political process within the United States
from at least 1932. However, the extent of that involvement is still shrouded
in fog. Somewhere in the vaults of the United State and England incriminating
files lie hidden that will expose the collaboration of many more individuals and
corporations with the Nazis."MORE AT:The White Rose

Morton County, ND – In August, North Dakota Governor Jack Dalrymple declared a State of Emergency in reaction to ongoing direct actions and demonstrations against construction of the Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL) in Morton County, near the Standing Rock Sioux Tribal reservation.

Dalrymple’s State of Emergency enabled North Dakota law enforcement, specifically the Morton County Sheriff’s Department assisted by the state’s Department of Emergency Services, to take advantage of a program passed 20 years ago under the Bill Clinton presidency, the Emergency Management Assistance Compact (each participating state has a corresponding implementation statute).

The report states that Wisconsin provided a “mobile field force” of 17 state troopers, with additional personnel from the Dane, St. Croix, Marathon, and Rock County Sheriff’s Departments, in a detail lasting from October 9 until October 15, 2016. Two Wisconsin state troopers also served as a “Force Protection Team“, also called the “Less Lethal team“, onOctober 10(Indigenous People’s Day/Columbus Day) when 27 people were arrested on or near a DAPL work site in Morton County, ND.

Among those arrested on October 10 was Rebecca Kemble, a Madison, Wisconsin alderwoman, who was present acting as a legal observer. Madison attorneyPatricia Hammel, was also present in Morton County on October 10 but was not arrested. Hammel told the Wisconsin’s Isthmuswhat she observed after water protectors began their prayer ceremony at the pipeline site:

“Within an hour, about 50 law enforcement officers arrived and came marching up the highway…I was amazed to see that most of them were from Wisconsin.” – Patricia Hammel,

I met the people who owned the Havana TV
station that broadcasted Jack Parr’s interview with Castro from the Havana
Hilton just after the Cuban Revolution. Their TV station was nationalized by
Castro, they lost everything. They settled in central Pennsylvania.

"Knowing his fascination for scuba-diving off
the coast of Cuba, the CIA at one time invested in a large volume of Caribbean
molluscs. The idea was to find a shell big enough to contain a lethal quantity
of explosives, which would then be painted in colours lurid and bright enough
to attract Castro's attention when he was underwater. Documents released under
the Clinton administration confirm that this plan was considered but, like many
others, did not make it far from the drawing-board. Another aborted plot
related to Castro's underwater activities was for a diving-suit to be prepared
for him that would be infected with a fungus that would cause a chronic and
debilitating skin disease."
